Asus ZenWatch 3 review

The Asus ZenWatch 3 is a gorgeous smartwatch – and one of the slimmest – but there are shortcomings to the circular smartwatch. It’s limited in terms of fitness tracking, measuring only steps and standing hours and offering tracking for only basic exercises due to the omission of GPS and a heart-rate tracker. Its performance is sluggish (and that's being kind) and things go downhill when you update to Android Wear 2.0. Battery life is also poor with the new software. Until Asus can fix these issues, you're better off spending more on a rival such as the Huawei Watch 2.

Review: Asus' ZenWatch 2 is a wonderfully simple smartwatch

T he Asus ZenWatch 2 is among an increasing number of Android Wear smartwatches struggling to find a niche in the bold new world of wearable tech. It's a second-generation smartwatch, but as with many other newer devices, there isn't much on paper to entice.

Excellent

Was very apprehensive buying this since I have an Apple iPhone 6s - but except for not being able to take calls on the watch (which I do not want anyway) - I get notified of calls but have to accept and then use the phone....its really no big deal.

Asus ZenWatch 2 review [hands on]: the best value smartwatch yet?

Asus might be sitting on the best value smartwatch on the market. The ZenWatch 2 has pretty much the same hardware as Moto 360 (2015), but it's much more affordable. While the Taiwanese manufacturer's smartphone designs leave some disappointed, the ZenWatch 2 manages to maintain the low price...

ASUS ZenWatch 2 Review

The ASUS ZenWatch 2 presents a new wave of Android Wear watch. While it still runs the same software as the rest of the Android Wear smartwatches out today, it begins to differentiate itself.

Asus ZenWatch 2 review

At just ￡150, the Asus ZenWatch 2 does a lot of things right. It's a good-looking smartwatch with a decent battery life that's much cheaper than the competition, but it's worth noting that there are also plenty of fitness trackers that do a lot more for less, such as the Garmin Vivosmart HR and the...

Asus ZenWatch 2 review

Asus wasted no time in developing a follow-up after the rather unspectacular release of the rather unspectacular ZenWatch. This fairly quick turnaround means that the ZenWatch 2 has much in common with its precursor.

1.6in 320x320 display at 778ppi, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chip, 512MB RAM, 4GB eMMC flash, Android Wear, Bluetooth 4.1, WiFi 801.11 b/g/n, 400mAh battery, 50x41x10.9mm in developing a follow-up to its debut smartwatch, the rather unspectacular ZenWatch.

Asus has released its second Android Wear watch on the market with the ZenWatch 2, available at retail from $296 for the standard leather band edition or $366 for the stunning metal band. The company hasn't deviated far from the original in making the ZenWatch 2.

Be it the rubber strap, leather strap or metal strap versions, the ZenWatch 2 is one stylish looking device to own. In our opinion, ASUS should really consider reducing the size of the bezel on the display to fit a larger display.
